- Observation The micronucleus test showed a 2.6-fold increase in micronucleus frequency in these areas by the MN/Tetr criterion.
- Observation The micronucleus test showed a 3-fold increase in micronucleus frequency in these areas by the Tetr/MN criterion.
- Observation The lowest levels of the genetic parameters in both assays were found in landscape areas near the highway near the town of Masis.
- Association The genetic markers of both Tradescantia bioassays correlated significantly and positively with Cu, Zn and Co (p<0.01).
